Hi: I have a .mat file named Ey1a which I need to use it in my code as one of the inputs. The file contains complex data (real and imaginary).I read the file like this:
dlmread Ey1a.mat
but I had this error:
Mismatch between file and format string.
Trouble reading number from file (row 1, field 1) ==> MATLA
Error in ==> fiber_commentedoriginal at 38 dlmread Ey1a.mat;
also, I need to use the conjugate of Ey1a in my code, so how to do this as I can not load the Ey1a.mat file itself

Try
S = load('Ey1a.mat');
and see help for load

S = load(...);
it puts all of the data (that is in the .MAT file) into a structure named S. This is what the documentation clearly states.
The structure S is not your original data array, but a container that contains your data array. A structure is like a box: and just like a box can contain something, so can a structure hold your data. When you wish to access your data, you first need to get it out of the structure, just like you would get something out of the box before you can use it. To access data in a structure we use this notation:
S.variable
where in your case the variable is the name Ey1a or something similar. So this should work for accessing the data in your structure:
S.Ey1a
If you try to use S for your calculation, then this is still just the structure and not your data that is inside the structure, thus the error. You need to get your data out of the structure before you can use it.
You can also have a look inside a structure in your workspace (double click to open it up), or use the command fieldnames(S) to get a list of all of the variables that are contained in the structure.

Use the load function to read .mat files. E.g.,
load Ey1a.mat

You could use the "load" command to read data stored in a MAT file.
>> load Ey1a.mat
The "dlmread" function is used for reading ASCII delimited file.

for other directory.....
load('D:\data_file\Eyla.mat')
for current directory load('Eyla.mat');
or follow the figure....
